The Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind (CJAM) is excited to announce an open call for submissions for Volume 3, Issue 1. We are a student-led, student-focused, open access, peer reviewed scholarly journal published by York University.
We invite undergraduate and graduate students from all disciplines to contribute their research and insights to this edition. Whether you are an experienced researcher or submitting your first academic paper, this is an opportunity to showcase your work and engage with the academic community.
In line with our Embracing Equity Policy, we welcome papers that critically engage with gender, race, class, sexuality, disability, and other axes of identity. By encouraging and amplifying different voices, we aim to ensure that our journal reflects a broad spectrum of experiences and intellectual contributions. We also invite submissions that challenge traditional power dynamics in academia and that provide fresh, intersectional approaches to research.
We encourage professors and faculty members to share this opportunity with their students, particularly those in marginalized communities. Co-authored papers between students and faculty members are also welcome.
Who Should Submit? We welcome papers from students across all fields of study. Whether your research falls within the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, or any other discipline, we are open to diverse approaches and methodologies. We especially encourage contributions that address contemporary issues, historical analyses, theoretical frameworks, or interdisciplinary research with a focus on equity and social justice.
